Why not -1?
- Not as funny
- Knowing Discourse, it would mean "infinite"
- I also though it might overflow in `<ol>`, but I was dissapoint
- Oh, no, wait, it works, just didn't see it in preview. I also just found a new bug too (see above)

You can pretty much grab any C++ codebase and replace
class
withstruct
*, and it will continue function as it did before.Except that the default visibility for methods/data members in a
class
is private and in astruct
is public.
That doesn't matter if there is an explicit visibility declaration for all class/struct members.*. NMF

Default is 20 in posts, 10 in PMs.
And reduced because it was a stupid rule (in toto with all the other stupid rules) to begin with and I wasn't allowed to make it 0.
20 what? What the hell are you people talking about?
Oh... characters? 20... characters in posts? I... guess?
I approve of your apparent ability to understand the sentence:
Default it like 30 characters actually, but we made it 1 because ~reasons~
which appears to be missing at least one word, and possibly many more.
Gibberish.

Gibberish
Can you explain what this word means to you? It doesn't seem to mean the same thing to the rest of us.
-
Default it like 30 characters actually, but we made it 1 because ~reasons~
That is gibberish.
I'm thinking it's missing the word "to" in the first clause, so it's supposed to be "default it to like 30 characters actually," ("default it to" being used to mean "set the default to") but that doesn't explain why the tense changes inexplicably at the comma. Maybe it's two completely separate sentences glommed together? Add to that I'm not even sure what "it" refers to here. (The post that one is replying to is about how Discourse allows a single digit in a post. Is "it" a digit? Does he want the default set to 30 digits?)
I have no idea. It's gibberish.
I move that if you understand what that sentence means, you are the strange one.
-

No, I think there's just a typo there. Finding the typo is left as an exercise for the reader.

How do you lose context in your own reply chain?

Another aggressively illiterate day, eh? Thanks for the early heads up.

Hey, if you don't want me to call it gibberish, stop typing gibberish, I just read the words on the screen, and they don't make any fucking sense.
Do you people just read through typos? Just ass-pull what word you think was meant and mentally substitute it so unconsciously that you're not even aware you're doing it?
HOW THE FUCK DOES A BRAIN LIKE THAT WRITE WORKING CODE?!

20 things that discourse counts. IIRC punctuation doesn't count or something.

Dude, chill out, we understand that you're an idiot who has problems communicating. No need to rub it in our faces.

Counts for what purpose?
You know what's an awesome way to explain something vague? Write an explanation that's even more vague. I love it.
Anyway, I know what the fuck people are talking about now, but it would have been easier without all the gibberish and vague bullshit.
Dude, chill out, we understand that you're an idiot who has problems communicating. No need to rub it in our faces.
I'm not the one who typed the gibberish. Nor am I the one who thinks it's strange that someone didn't understand that sentence, which is complete gibberish.

Yep!

You learn that skill pretty quickly around these parts, thanks to that wily fox…
-
I'm not the one who typed the gibberish.
And yet, you're the only one who says he cannot figure out what was said. It takes two people to communicate. And you're still using that word incorrectly, I see.
-

It's not a "skill", it's you being an asshole and putting words into someone else's mouth. I'm not going to pretend to be a telepath who knows what JazzyJosh means. Because, shockingly, I'm not a telepath.
How about you don't do that, which is fucking annoying and irritating as shit, and if something's gibberish you say, "hey this is gibberish. It doesn't make sense. Make sense."

I want you to stop using your brain to put words in other people's mouths, yes. Also: duh.
At the very least, don't act like I'm in the wrong for not having telepathic powers. The gibberish was not my fault, I was only the victim.

1) What's a "thing"?
FUCK IF I KNOW.
Discourse never told me.2) Counts for what purpose?
It goes through the text symbol by symbol and adds one if it sees a thing. If it reaches the minimum set by the admin, the post meets the length requirement.You know what's an awesome way to explain something vague? Write an explanation that's even more vague. I love it.
Discourse doesn't tell me anywhere how its length detection works.
Do multibyte unicode symbols count as multiple characters? FUCK IF I KNOW.Do you people just read through typos? Just ass-pull what word you think was meant and mentally substitute it so unconsciously that you're not even aware you're doing it?
Do you read everything letter-by-letter and speak every letter out load while reading?
Do you know what the word "context" means?
-

What gibberish is this? I'm reading words on a screen. The only mouth around here is my own, and unlike you, mine doesn't even move when I read. Also, I'm not telekinetic, so is with all this gibberish this morning‽
-

Apparently better than JazzyJosh knows what the word "it" means.
Oh My God... he's secretly Bill Clinton!?

Gibberish! Clinton didn't know the meaning of "is." I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO SAY.

Reading is pattern recognition, something the brain excels at. If I was you, I'd be less concerned about others' in-built autocorrect, and get in contact with the vendor that supplied yours

Hey here's an idea: just fuck off. You know I'm dyslexic.
You know what, whatever. Keep piling on for another week or three, I'm just gonna ignore this thread.

What, exactly, am I supposed to fuck‽ GIBBERISH.
Keep piling on for another week or three, I'm just gonna ignore this thread.
Just stop using your disability as an excuse to abuse everyone. Are you claiming that dyslexia prevents you from understanding simple metaphorical language? Deciphering simple typos (this is maybe possible, but it doesn't excuse the abuse)?

Deciphering simple typos
I'm no expert, but I can imagine some dyslexics actually finding it easier to auto-correct typos

Oh noes my brain doesn't work the same way as yours... oh wait...
FUCKING GOOD.
Deciphering simple typos
How am I supposed to decipher the typo before I know there's a typo??? You fucking asshole? (And I'll note that until I hear it from JazzyJosh I still don't know for sure there's a typo. I only know a lot of people here think there's a typo.)
HEY remember that time I didn't make a typo (talking about a theater showing 2001: A Space Odyssey) and you morons think I did and confused the bejesus out of everybody? REMEMBER THAT!? WASN'T THAT FUN FOR EVERYBODY INVOLVED? It's great, I get it both coming and going.
I read exactly what was typed. I don't have, for the 3472346237465237467234627346 billionth time, the telepathic abilities to know what was meant. I only know what was typed.

I didn't.
Well then by all means, spend another 57 posts calling me an idiot. Why not. Join the pile-on.
-
Nah.
That would be uncivilized.
-

A normal person would read something, realize that the words as written don't make perfect sense and see if they could fill in the blanks based on context. Like what the poster was replying to.
A...
fucking asshole
...doesn't bother and commences insulting people. Then he can't understand why people think he's a dick.
I only know what was typed.
Yeah, but only in that one single thing, and you don't even try to consider to what it was replying. I'm not saying that makes you a bad person, but it makes you a bad communicator for sure.

You can have my veal when you pry it from my cold dead hands.
Beef, chicken, fish, even pork — I agree. Veal, no. I fully support PETA and laugh at PETA, but veal is raised under conditions that even an ardent carnivore like me considers inhumane; I don't support that.
-
veal...inhumane
If the baby cows were people, this would bother me (but then, so would eating them).

HOW THE FUCK DOES A BRAIN LIKE THAT WRITE WORKING CODE?!
As @Onyx alluded to, that's not a bug, it's a feature. It's a feature that you asked for. Didn't you say here a few months ago that anyone who wants to should be able to write code?
Well then by all means, spend another 57 posts calling me an idiot. Why not. Join the pile-on.
For the sake of variety, I'll be happy to call you a hypocrite instead of an idiot.

Status: Sore, and I'm out of ibuprofen.
I mowed the back lawn yesterday, but got distracted in the middle by pruning fruit trees. I don't think they'd ever been pruned properly, and there were a lot of branches crossing through the middle of the trees. There are still some, but — on the cherry tree in particular — those are about the only branches I can reach to harvest. However, it's not like that matters much; the squirrels and birds eat them all before they're even ripe. In the two summers I've lived here, I've gotten one, single cherry.
Filed under: I misspelled "ibuprofen," and the Chrome speelchucker suggested "nonprofit."

Or maybe I typoed is to it and expected everyone to be able to figure that out. Perhaps I should scale back my understanding of the level of reading comprehension on this forum.
Aw man, everyone already had this argument about my post :/

Status: trying to test a Sage add on, but Sage is refusing to open.
It starts minimised, for some reason, and has regained the old bug which I thought had disappeared, where any resizing of the window gives an unhandled exception about a duplicate item being inserted into a hashtable. The entire application then exits.
It really makes you feel secure in your job when the software you're meant to be integrating with doesn't even work on its own

I even saw the typo yesterday, but decided "Belgium it, people know what I mean"
As I may have noted earlier somewhere: I'm lazy as shit.

I think I should print this out and pin it up on my wall
You should. Lots of businesses use it and all of their products are rubbish. Especially so for the portion they sold off to Abila. Their Fund Accounting product was a complete . I think they sold it off so that they did not have to support it anymore.
One of the biggest s is that it had a default username and password that could not easily be turned off and gave a person complete access to everything in the books. Oh, and the password was only 3 letters.
